“Lauren was the best sitter we have ever experienced! One of our dogs is a special needs rescue and is incredibly shy and scared of everything. Lauren was so patient with her and was able to break through the initial barrier. Happy doesn't even describe how we feel about it. Lauren has got a gift, y'all! It was SUCH a relief to know that all four of our fur babes were well cared for and very comfortable while we were gone for an entire week. Lauren provided us with a regular stream of texts, pictures and videos that clearly showed how comfortable our pets were with her. Not only that, we came home to a tidy house! Book her now, she is worth every penny! 🐾”
“Adrianne was wonderful! Our three Chihuahuas loved her! Took interest in the instructions we left. She went above and beyond, watering our plants, putting the garbage out for pickup and keeping the house in good order. Would definitely have her dog/housesit again.”
“Yanni, did a fabulous job. This is her second time caring for my 3 small pups. She not only loved and cared for them like her own, she also helped mw with a few minor household needs. My wife is in the hospital and it was a tremendous help. I will use Yanni again for sure.”
“We have booked Alexis to house sit for our dog, Burton, more than once, and we definitely plan on booking her again in the future! Took great care of our pup and house!”
“You will not find a better sitter than Ryan. He went above and beyond throughout the entire process. I’m telling you - I’ve NEVER experienced such incredible ‘customer service’. My pup fell in love with him and I knew from the moment I left she was in excellent hands. I can’t recommend him more highly. Would give 10 stars if I could.”
“Wesley was fantastic! My sweet boy is blind and diabetic with a long list of medications and needs. Wesley was kind and patient with exceptional attention to detail managing his needs. Anxious about leaving him in anyone’s care I was reassured at every step by photos and updates throughout the stay and it was clear that my boy was receiving so much love! Wesley is a treasure!”
About: I’ve been watching after pets for friends and family since I a teenager. My neighbors in my hometown loved their pets, and always knew to call me to look after them when they went away on vacation. I’ve looked after various different sizes and types of dogs and cats. From a Great Pyrenees to Yorkies. I have had the honor of looking after my ESA and best cat, Goose. I work at a local cafe that is dog friendly. I absolutely love meeting people’s pets everyday! I currently work as a barista in the morning and a food runner at night. I have time between shifts to check up/walk pets. I have two dedicated days off from both of my jobs that make me completely available for pet care. I get my schedule every week for both my jobs, so I’m pretty aware of my availability ahead of time. I know social pets act out in a home when they haven’t seen their people for hours on end. I know it’s important to give them space to get their energy out daily to avoid messes and destructive behaviors to the home.
About: I have a big heart with a large portion dedicated to animals of all kinds. In addition, I have years of built knowledge and skills to properly care for cats, dogs, rodents, lizards, and fish. At the moment, I am a proud mom to a beautiful leopard gecko. Although I don't have any fur babies of my own right now, I would be honored and love to meet and take care of yours! I am currently a full-time college student, but I have oriented my in-person classes to occur only on Mondays and Wednesdays. I am also a part-time waitress, but only on the weekends and usually for one shift. The shift can range from 4 hours to 8 depending on events and staff. I usually know a week beforehand when my schedule comes out. I mainly stay within the Isle of Hope area and commute to southside Savannah for school and errands, but I have no issues driving as long as it's not 30+ minutes away with standard traffic! I will make sure your pet is fed, medicine is fully administered (if needed), loved on to the extent your pet is comfortable, and given water. If there are any preferences as to how I must complete any of these tasks or anything outside of those tasks, I will be sure to meet your expectations upon communication!
“Jasmin was great! She is very responsible and took great care of my dogs. She also sent us pictures and kept us updated every day. I would definitely recommend her and I plan to use her again!”
About: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember. I have worked in veterinary clinics since I was 12. I also believe dogs are our greatest gifts. I have always taken in special needs pups if I can. My last two had cerebellar hypoplasia and lived to be 16 and 17 yo. I work part time as a therapist and love being around animals. It is healing and rewarding for me. I also enjoy walks and being outside so it’s a win. I will treat your family with the love and warmth I give my own. My goal is to keep them happy, healthy and safe. My years of experience with many breeds, sizes, and species give me a strong foundation of care and ongoing expertise.
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! They were reliable, communicative, and took such great care of my dog. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup and could tell they had been well-loved and cared for. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. And I have walked dogs for neighbors in the past. I love animals and love to help them in any kind of way! I am currently looking for a full time job so I have a lot of open availability. I’m very flexible and drive my own car. My apartment is very safe! I have to keep it baby proof for my cat anyway so I am very careful about that. I am very clean and always clean up after myself.
About: Hi there! I am an online college student, and can spend more time with your dog during the day while completing school work. I have experience with larger and small breeds. Please let me know your preferences, or if your pet has any special needs! I'd love to help during the week, and don't mind staying with your pet during the day! I am currently an online college student, and don't mind staying while completing school work. I've personally had a German Shepherd, and two Shih-tzu's! I am open to caring for your pet in any way that makes you and them the most comfortable.
About: I have taken care of dogs for many years as well as had dogs in the home my whole life! I love to love on them and make them feel comfortable while you’re away! Open to working around schedules! Can be around and available so just let me know what you are wanting and I’m sure we can figure it out! I will follow any specific/special directions the client needs and give them extra love while their human is away! Lots of play and potty breaks!

The average cost of House Sitting in Montgomery is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $64 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Montgomery walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Montgomery maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Montgomery choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
